So, I think this is a fine approach.

However, I think we should let it simmer until we know if my -object
refactoring will be accepted as a way forward. In that case, I'd like to
only add it there and likely as a new namespace "type" (i.e.
x-nvme-ns-unallocated) that will be replaced with a dynamically created
object depending on CSI.
